Excellent budget laptop

This laptop is a recommended buy for those looking for a entry level budget laptop from Dell.

Always with Dell so tried VOSTRO. First thing the delivery was just the next day. Installed WIN 7 and then other SW and the system was working great.Hard Drive size is good. Top cover is good to if one wants to avoid scratches on it from regular usage. Complete Cover warranty is an added advantage.This is good machine which was bought for in-laws and now may get it for a cousin.

I purchased this product from Flipkart with complete warranty.But with in one week its right speaker stopped functioning and now both stopped.I called Dell customer care and they informed me that it is because of VLC media player which allows you to play more than 100% volume and they are not ready to replace speakers in warranty period.After checking in Dell community forum I found that this problem is not only faced by me there are some more customers who are facing it.I suggest you to don'...
